NEW! Bitcoin Smartphone Coming Soon

[FlightyPouch]

Any sites about this that we can read? I ca't just believe this with just your post and no supporting sites, articles and statements but I think that will be big for certain investors since a smartphone and a digital wallet in one is a great thing. The only problems is that there are a lot of people that lose their phones, in fact I've read this article last month and it is really surprising that a lot of people lose their phones and this is their massive calculations about it.

You can also read this one since we are talking about Smartphones now. If this technology will be about smartphones and digital wallet, they should be able to be shockproof since most of the users of smartphones tends to broke their phones maybe from falling and forgetting it.

This will seriously move bitcoin forward. I think that the use of such a smartphone will be very convenient for bitcoin investors and for those who start using bitcoin as a means of payment. We will wait for the release of such a smartphone on the world market.

Recently I read the news that HTC has invented a phone based on blockchain. This smartphone can be used as a wallet and will also support all applications on the blockchain. This is great.

This smartphone will really be very convenient for the investor, and I also recently read the news about this phone from HTC. I was amazed because I did not think that such a smartphone will be created so quickly. I really want to buy it.

It's all meaningless.
Cryptocurrency has a big problem. It's a security issue. And it doesn't matter which gadget to use and how it will look.

Of course this is good news about the existence of Bitcoin Smartphone, hopefully if it can be realized it will be useful for all and bitcoin will be even more advanced

The start-up Sirin and the electronics giant Foxconn are planning a smartphone with a built-in digital wallet. This should be much easier - but the mobile phone will not be cheap.


Virtual money like Bitcoin and the smartphone - this is not a real love, on the contrary. Recently, there have been increasing warnings that cybercriminals are not only attacking PCs to illegally dig cryptocurrencies, but also mobile phones. Now a start-up and a large contract manufacturer want to make it clear to the consumer that the combination of Bitcoin and smartphone can also have their good and safe sides.


The Swiss-Israel company Sirin Labs and the Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn, which among other things manufactures iPhones for Apple, are planning the first smartphone with blockchain technology. So with the technology that forms the basis of all virtual currencies. Thus, the crypto will finally mass market suitable, says Sirin founder and co-CEO Moshe Hogeg. The device, jointly developed by Sirin and Foxconn called Finney is said to facilitate transactions with digital money and provide protection against hacker attacks.

Use physical switches to access the wallet
The two companies are counting on the fact that there are currently millions of Bitcoin owners, but only a few use Bitcoin for day-to-day business. The complicated technology makes this unattractive. To prevent theft, Bitcoin payers must keep their assets on special memory sticks until needed. Then remember to remember complicated usernames and passwords that can be many characters long. An uncomfortable thing that gets in the way of a really big spread. "No chance my mother will find out how to use Bitcoin. And my mother is smart, "says Sirin boss Hogeg.

MORE ON THE SUBJECT
With a smartphone that basically everyone can carry in their pocket, everything should be much easier. With the Blockchain mobile phone, for example, users should be able to shop on crypto-friendly websites. This promises a high level of security. Finney devices - under this brand, smartphones and PCs are planned - are the first to rely on the applicable as uncrackable Blockchain Technik. They run under the widespread mobile operating system Android, in conjunction with special cybersecurity technologies. With the help of its own physical switch, the owners should be able to cut off online access to the built-in digital purse ("wallet") and thus hinder hacker attacks. This so-called "cold wallet" is considered safer than a "hot wallet" that can be accessed anytime via the internet.

Competitors are also involved
Sirin has already raised hundreds of millions of dollars in project development from investors:  158 million USD in December, and another 70 million USD recently. The Bitcoin smartphone is expected to hit the market in October 2018. First, it wants to market it through its own stores, later on via telecommunications companies. The device is not cheap. Initially,  999 USD are targeted; Later, license agreements with other cell phone producers should push this price down to 200 USD. Among other things, Sirin is in talks with Huawei.

Meanwhile, others have discovered the charm of a blockchain phone - competitors like Zippie and Bitvault. Nevertheless, analysts rate the prospects of success quite ambiguous. On the one hand, the use of Bitcoin is still very limited, on the other hand, there is a danger of constantly carrying its virtual money with it. Criminals could kidnap Finney owners and forcibly gain access to the virtual wallets, so the fear.

Nice Initiative
HTC has also launched somewhat similar smartphone, cost of this phone is somewhat similat to the new iphoneXR.
If they can reduce the cost then I am sure this new smartphone will be a hit.
Since, Hot wallet are risky to store cryptos, I am not sure whether the wallet will be the USP for Blockchain based smartphone.

Anyways we need to wait till the actual product is launched.

I am very happy that there are companies that think of bitcoin smartphones. Because bitcoin smartphones will be the best way to use Bitcoin.

Bitcoin in itself is a very smart technology, a decade ago on the day of its introduction to people it was considered totally as alien technology because of its potential and fate it bears but then with time it has proved its worth and potential and has overcome all the obstacles and criticism in its path and now on the top of all the crypto ranking and then companies started investing into bitcoin and I heard the news that Samsung smartphones might be come with bitcoin technology and then they will be the most secure smartphones ever because of bitcoin technology and I think this collaboration of Samsung and bitcoin is wise and profitable for all of us.

Recently I read the news that HTC has invented a phone based on blockchain. This smartphone can be used as a wallet and will also support all applications on the blockchain. This is great.

even android and ios phones can always support blockchain based apps and crypto related apps like wallets or exchangers so buying it wont be any benficial to and it may only cost more expensive compared to any regular phones nowadays  since it came from a high end manufacturer which is htc  .

 yet this phone isnt new because even on the past years i already heard a blockchain based phones but that is from a different company , that wasnt succesful at all and it doesnt create any hype after they release it . atleast these kind of idea's can surely help the promotion of bitcoin and cryptocurrency

[MrCrank]

It's good. My opinion smartphone with hard wallet is cool!
This will be not full secure. What happen if smartphone will be steal or lost?
How can possible recover private keys?

[anafiene]

It's not new news about smartphones that use the blockchain, it's good if it runs well and safely. Surely many investors use their smartphones for fast transactions. This is a development of blockchain technology that can be enjoyed by all people.

This is a another big challenge to really put this things into actual usage. We know more often and I think you would agree that mobile phones are also the common device that will be main target of hacking as well. So that keeping things like bitcoin wallet and keys in a phone would be very unsafe. We could hear more often about news where mobile phones are being stolen and important data are stolen. So the next big question is how can a transaction be really safe so that if mobile phones are stolen nobody will ever be able to retrieved the data from it. This a really big challenge to the developers.

[munareal]

This is a very welcome development and will increase the awareness and exposure to the use of Bitcoin. The mainstream society will come to accept the use of crypto currencies if we have innovative projects that is accepted

[nazaididuan1]

Encrypted currency or BTC smartphones are a marketing strategy for mobile phone manufacturers to promote mobile phones!
BTC's smartphone only needs you to download some apps to become the encrypted mobile phone selected by the mobile phone manufacturer!

As far as I know, HTC has already created its first blockchain-smartphone EXODUS. In any case, in December 2018, it should be on sale. I do not know whether it will perform the same functions and whether it will be convenient, but Sirin is not unique in this. In addition, several other companies are working on the same in parallel. The only question is which of these smartphones will be most convenient for users and whether it will be in general in demand in the current couple of years.

[svombergen]

I believe that any development is connected at least somehow with cryptocurrency - it will only be useful for the community. So we look forward to being able to show us))

[santino11]

I am so excited to get the HTC phone which supports the cryptocurrency.
But it is not yet available in my country.
I do want to order and get the phone through shipping.
But still i need to wait.

Such a phone would need to have mission impossible type security. I'm talking about iris scanners, palm print recognition, hardware ledger wallet support, and more!
